What is soapstone, and what are soapstone slabs used for?

Soapstone is a natural metamorphic rock renowned for its unique characteristics and versatile applications. Composed primarily of talc, chlorite, pyroxenes, micas, amphiboles, carbonates, iron oxides, and, occasionally, feldspar, it has a smooth, soap-like texture, hence its name. Soapstone slabs, cut from quarried blocks of this rock, find various uses, most notably as countertops and sinks. Their heat resistance and non-porous nature make them ideal for culinary spaces, while their elegant appearance and natural patina develop over time, adding to their aesthetic appeal. Soapstone slabs also serve in carving and sculpting due to their softness, making them a favored choice for artisans and artists.
